Concentration (card game)

Matching and Shedding Card Games

Concentration is a round game in which a set of cards is laid face down on a surface and two cards are turned face up on each turn, with the object of turning over pairs of matching cards. It can be played by any number of players, or alone as a solitaire or patience game. It is described as a particularly good game for young children, though adults may find it challenging and stimulating, and it can be employed as an educational game. The same scheme is often used in quiz shows, and several game shows have used its name in their titles.
